It would appear that Scotty's photo won the contest, and he asked that I pass his gratitude to everyone here that helped in voting for his image.
USA Today told him that the photo will appear as a Lifestyle front page item with a story about the jump and what we did to acheive it.
Funny thing is, we're now setting up for our next "special" jump (this was the second one of the year, regarding setups for photography ops). Next....overflying volcanoes, hopefully timed for eruption. :-)

Tricky! Dodging upcoming rocks. Or, if you're further away, downcoming!

What about the eagle shot? Did anyone accuse the guy of faking it?

The fish looks real best fish shot I’ve seen for a long time

How they got the fish to fly through the air with an eagle standing on its back I'll never know ....

Must be a female eagle, all that wind and not one feather out of place

The fish is obviously male

Just took a look at the contest and it's now closed. Looks like "Skydive" won it!
Congrats to Spot et al.
